Unless we redefine our comfort level and risk tolerance for Covid-19 I don't see how there will be a season.

I don't give one flip about what the Ivy league does . Since when did the ivy league become relevant to HBCU athletics. The people I care about are the students that are unfairly asked to put there life at risk by returning back to institutions that are licking 45 boots . It will be a Damn shame if the HBCU leadership was to open our campuses too soon following 45 lead .

My prediction is looking better as each week passes. There will be a 9-way tie for first place.....as each team finishes 0-0 in conference.

They operate the exact same as d3 programs in that they don’t provide athletic scholarships for players and make little to no revenue for the season. Them in particular playing would be taking money out of their own pockets even more than they usually do. Same with the SIAC. Those Type programs spend more to play than they ever make for their school. No matter what anybody’s stance is on cancelling the season, those programs should NOT be the comparison.

Report: Ivy League Won't Play Any Sports in 2020; No Date Set for ReturnJENNA WEST Sports Illustrated UPDATED:JUL 8, 2020 ORIGINAL:JUL 8, 2020
The Ivy League voted on Wednesday to postpone all fall sports, with no date set for resuming the conference's athletic events, per TMG Sports' Mark Blaudschun.
The conference hopes it can move fall sports to the spring, including football, per The Athletic's Dana O'Neil. CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein added on Wednesday that the Ivy League "will not entertain any sports being played until after January 1."
Winter sports such as college basketball, which is scheduled to begin nationwide in early November, are likely to see their calendars shifted as a result of the Ivy League's decision.
The league becomes the first Division I conference to reach such a decision on fall sports amid the coronavirus pandemic. On Tuesday, Division III's Centennial Conference announced it will suspend all sporting events in the fall and may explore moving fall sports, including football, to the spring. Smaller college football programs, including Division II's Morehouse and a handful of Division III schools, have canceled their seasons. With the Ivy League postponing fall sports, there's a possibility other conferences could follow suit.
In mid-March, the league made headlines when it canceled its men's and women's basketball conference tournaments due to coronavirus concerns. Many people were alarmed by the decision but quickly realized it was the right call as the pandemic worsened. Other conferences began nixing their tournaments as well, and the NCAA canceled March Madness only two days after the Ivy League's actions.
Many unanswered questions remain in the NCAA regarding the 2020 football schedule and player health and safety. The season is set to start in under two months, but some programs like Houston and Kansas have been forced to suspend voluntary workouts amid spikes in COVID-19 cases.
While football programs face decisions about camps and the season, schools must also make tough choices about coronavirus testing protocols and bringing students back on campuses. Harvard announced Monday it will bring only 40% of undergraduates on campus for the fall semester, and the remaining students will learn remotely.

I think that the Ivy League presidents are doing the right thing by not putting their students (and student-athletes) at risk by playing sports right now. Idiot #45 is already calling them out.

The Ivy league was the first to cancel Basketball and you see what happen after that.

Costs have nothing to do with Ivy decision. They are rolling in money for all sorts of financial aid. Tuition is based on a sliding scale at most of these schools. Low income kids go virtually for free if they have the academics to get in. Football players get need based grants and scholarships.
